[EVENT] Cold Winds Blowin'...
Characters: All
Date: January 10-31, 2018
Location: Keeliai, all sectors
Situation: Hurricane and ensuing cleanup
Warnings/Rating: add warnings to headers as necessary, please.
Come late night on the 10th, carrying over into the wee hours of the 11th, the winds that have been on and off all month pick up, howling between buildings and rattling anything not nailed down. The worst of it comes over the next day, when the winds don't actually stop, sweeping through the city at high speeds and bringing rain and all kinds of debris with them.
The canals in Water are nearly impassable, making travel even more inadvisable than it would have been. In some places the wind takes out the power, too, leaving several people temporarily without much in the way of heat -- not good when the average temperature is hovering around 5°C (about 40°F). The rain comes heavier over the course of the day, and flooding both minor and major abounds; during the worst of the storm the canals are near to overflowing and there's a sincere -- and realized -- risk of drowning. As the flooding rises fast, some unprepared citizens may be caught by these rushing torrents and need rescue.
The storm settles down toward the end of the twelfth, leaving only brisk winds and a sullen drizzle as it finally passes the city by. In its wake, however, is a vast array of damage, and significant repairs to be made.
The high winds have knocked many trees down, some of which landed on homes and businesses -- in some cases, punching right through the roofs, rendering the buildings temporarily unlivable, and sending their occupants out into the storm to seek their nearest secondary shelter. Flooding is wide-scale, doing immeasurable amounts of property damage and putting many lives at risk. Many are left injured, homeless, or their businesses and livelihoods in ruins. Even more have lost personal possessions that are irreplaceable.
All told, the Merchant's Guild estimates that nearly 10% of the city's residential districts have suffered severe damage, meaning that the homes in those areas are not structurally safe to live in until repairs are made. This translates to about 6000 kedan across all Sectors in need of temporary housing. A further 20% (roughly 10,000) of the city has experienced moderate damage, so their homes are livable, but they may be without power, heat, or necessities like running water or adequate food stores.
The rest of the city takes light damage, mostly in the way of flooding and damaged goods. Volunteers are needed all over the place to remove storm debris to a growing mountain of wreckage outside the city walls. Everything from broken windows and furniture, to entire trees and large sections of rooftops need to be hauled away, and in some cases, the Foreigners' abilities will be much appreciated, since whatever left is going to be done with kirin-hauled carts and sledges.
Through the rest of the month, repairs are in progress, most of it taking place beneath a sapping cold rain, which impedes both repairs and volunteers' health, and many come down with walking pneumonia and flu-like afflictions. Usayi is among those organizing work crews for the clearing of large debris and urgent patches; he'll be spearheading those efforts as the month wears on as well. The Woodsmen also call for help from as many volunteers as possible, citing the loss of a great deal of growing and stored seeds, as well as the damage to their agricultural land plots, which are now littered with more debris.

I see.
[She did not seem very surprised.]
That is...unfortunate. Have you identified which possessions belong to which victims of these latest thefts?
no subject
[ He states a little stiffly, sound just a touch offended that she'd even ask that. ]
Admittedly, not my usual type of case but that's because I don't generally take on the simple ones. Those are best left to the police but seeing as they're a little busy at the moment, I took cake of it.
no subject
I was not aware that one could merely choose which capacity they might serve others. Is not the role of individuals such as ourselves to protect and aid those who lack the means to do so?
no subject
[ is the only answer he bothers to provide. He does protect the public in his own right but he tends to do it on a much larger scale rather than individually. ]
no subject
One's preferred means of enjoyment should still not hinder the ability to help. Especially if it is exceedingly simple, and would therefore not take up a significant portion of your time and attention.
no subject
It's best for all involved that I not take on every single case that's dropped at my feet.
no subject
[Aya and boredom were a...theoretical concept, for the most part. She spent many nights alone while others slept, often for hours on end, and with very little to occupy her time besides her own thoughts and trivial tasks. There was little differentiation between "boring" tasks and "challenging" tasks, particularly as most tasks were relatively simple for her, given the level of intelligence (and processing power) the Guardians had gifted her with.]
no subject
no subject
I have been told on more than one occasion that idle time is the least amusing of all. At least, if you were tasked with something unchallenging, you would be keeping busy while still providing assistance to those who need it.
no subject
No. [ It would appear not. ] Not for me.
I can only put up with so much stupid at a time and my patience is virtually nonexistent when it comes to a boring a case.
no subject
If I were to refuse aid to those whose have demonstrated a lesser intelligence than myself, then I would never be of assistance to anyone.
[She was not bragging--at least, that was not her intention. It was made to be a statement of fact.]
One should not be so selfish when it comes to such matters.
no subject
Don't hold me to the same standards you hold yourself.
no subject
no subject
Because I'm not you. I do thing in my own way just as you do things in yours.
no subject
No. You are not.
However, you are implying that I am to be held to higher standards with regards to such matters. I do not believe this to be the case. All individuals who are capable of such intellectual feats should be equally accountable to the responsibilities our abilities grant us.
no subject
no subject
[While she was not angry, however, she was also not pleased, either, and while her tone remained soft and calm, her eyes were hard. Perhaps even...disappointed.]
Do as you wish.
If you would prefer to prioritize your peace over the needs of others, then I believe there is little I can offer to persuade you otherwise.
